N7M 5K8The Chatham Granite Club is an historic curling club in Chatham, Ontario, Canada. It's located in Downtown Chatham on William Street North.
The Chatham Granite was founded in 1862 as the Chatham Curling Club. For the first 30 years, the club played on the Thames River. In 1892, they settled at the clubs current location, and a new building was built in 1903. Artificial ice was installed in 1929 when the curling rink was remolded into a skating, hockey and curling arena. In 1939, the club was renovated into just a curling rink. It has five sheets of curling ice has lockers on the main level and has a lounge upstairs that has been newly refurbished.
The Chatham Granite Club has sent two teams to the Brier, in 1949 and 1953 when Peter Gilbert won the Provincial championships.
The club was the first winner of The Dominion Curling Club Championships (men's division) in 2009.
